FIX: EA FC 26 FPS Drop After Halftime / Cutscenes (PC)

✅ [FIX] EA FC 25/26 Massive FPS Drops After Halftime / Cutscenes (PC) — REAL SOLUTION

If your EA FC 25/26 suddenly drops from smooth FPS to 5–10 FPS after halftime, substitutions, replays or any cutscene…
it’s not your PC. It’s a game bug.

The in-game FPS limiter and V-Sync are broken.
The solution is to force your FPS from the GPU driver instead of the game.

I had the same issue, tested this fix, and my FPS is now stable again.

🟩 NVIDIA Users (GeForce) — REAL FIX

Right-click desktop → NVIDIA Control Panel

Go to Manage 3D Settings → Program Settings

Add EA SPORTS FC 26 (browse to FC26.exe if needed)

Find Max Frame Rate

Turn it ON and set it to:

👉 60 FPS (recommended)
or
👉 144 FPS if you have a 144 Hz monitor (works for me now)

Click Apply

Then INSIDE the game:

V-Sync → OFF

FPS Limit → OFF

➡️ Your GPU now controls FPS, not the broken in-game limiter.

🟥 AMD Users (Radeon)

Open AMD Adrenalin

Go to Gaming → EA SPORTS FC 26

Under Graphics, enable Frame Rate Target Control (FRTC)

Set it to 60 FPS

Set Wait for Vertical Refresh (VSync) to Always off

Disable Radeon Chill

Save / Apply

🎯 My Personal Result

I have an RTX 3050 laptop, 144 Hz screen.

Before the fix:

60 FPS first half

Drops to 5–10 FPS after halftime, subs, cutscenes

Ultra settings = 6 FPS (literally unplayable)

After the fix:

80–90 FPS on Auto settings

Smooth gameplay

Zero drops after halftime

Issue 100% gone

🧠 Why This Works

EA FC 25/26 has a bug where:

The in-game FPS lock

The in-game V-Sync

🔥 break after cutscenes or halftime.

Your GPU suddenly tries to render unlimited FPS → overload → FPS collapse.
Driver-level FPS control avoids this entirely.

❤️ Hope this helps!

Everyone suffering from this bug deserves the fix — I struggled with it too.
Try this and your FPS should be stable again.

[LastSoul]

the issue is on ea side but they keep ignoring it

[LastSoul]

the only partial success i had is i fixed vsync on fast in nvidia control panel and max frame rate at 60 it limits the input delay but its still there like for a second or less
